Should anyone hit this post and be facing the same problem, I'll point out what
I found out to be the solution. I needed to use the
DefaultFileSystemManager.resolveFile(FileObject, String, FileSystemOptions)
method instead, which tunnels the options into the FileSystem. Otherwise,
you're out of luck. While it seems like the interface prohibits use by the
presence of the FileObject in the signature, you can leave it null and provide a
URI string in the second parameter and provide the FileSystemOptions which have
been decorated with authentication information in the third.
I'm also going to be sending some patches for some problems I encountered while
working with vfs.
1. The default authentication approach seemed wasteful/inefficient enough to
call it a defect IMO. Expose a "preemptive" authentication option via
FileSystemOptions.
2. I found some NullPointerExceptions in the handling of the WebDAV properties.
I'll send the links to the issues once created.

Subject: Re: [vfs] (trunk) webdav auth challenges not provided credentials
I've been debugging it and it looks like the FileSystemOptions containing the
auth information aren't the same ones used to create the filesystem or look up
properties of a FileObject. Is there any way to ensure that the instance of
FileSystemOptions one sets up using the *FileSystemConfigBuilders is the one
actually used by the file system operations?

Subject: [VFS] (trunk) webdav auth challenges not provided credentials
As long as the URI/path provided to the resolveFile-like methods contains the
user id and password, I've been successful getting stuff from webdav via the
VFS APIs. However, as soon as I start using some of the other methods on a
returned FileObject (for example: getContent().getAttributes()), I see this
kind of error in my log.

I've tried setting up the UserAuthenticator on the
DefaultFileSystemConfigBuilder and the proxy authentication on the
WebdavFileSystemConfigBuilder to no avail. Where should I be supplying the
authentication information?
